Abstract: A system for automated registration of digital content, i.e. a work in electronic
form is described, requiring no special human interaction from the content publisher.
Before publication, the digital content is electronically and automatically sent to a
trusted third party, which generates a time stamped and digitally signed certificate
which can be used as proof of publication date. 
     A method is described to 'tag' digital content with an icon and hyperlink that
can be clicked in order to properly obtain reproduction rights to digital content,
according to pricing and rules (e.g. geographical restrictions, different license rules for
different time frames, purchase quantity dependent pricing schedules) set by the
publisher. The third party copyright buyer then receives a digitally signed copyright
certificate, granting the use of the work according to certain rules and restrictions to
the copyrighted material. This certificate constitutes the written permission from the
publisher, necessary to reproduce the material and to prove the presence of a license.
The system is preferably operated by a  trusted third party.   
     A method is also described for on-line and real-time registration of
works in electronic format having digital content in which intellectual property rights
such as copyright can subside, resulting in a digitally signed, time stamped certificate,
the validity of which can be verified on-line. The method may provide the possibility
for a content owner to specify the rules, pricing details and behavior for on-line sales
of limited reproduction rights.

Abstract: A tire building drum has a center section (720) and two end sections
(722, 724). Each end section is provided with an expandable bead lock
assembly (726). The center section is preferably expandable. The expandable
bead lock assembly comprises a carrier ring (CR) and a plurality of elongate
links (K) extending between the carrier ring (CR) and a plurality of radially-expandable
segments (S). When the carrier ring moves inward (towards the
center section), the radially-expandable segments (S) move radially outward,
urging a plurality of axially extending, circumferentially spaced-apart finger
segments (F) outward from a collapsed position to an expanded position, and
at least one position therebetween. In an embodiment of the invention, the
bead lock assembly comprises a cylinder and two pistons (P1, P2) disposed
within the cylinder. The pistons are free to move axially within the cylinder, in
response to pneumatic pressure. The first piston (P1) is constrained from
moving axially inward by rods (R1P1, R2P1, R3P1). The second piston (P2) is
connected by rods (R1 P2, R2P2, R3P2) to the carrier ring (CR). Pressurized
air supplied through hoses (H1, H2, H3) and passageways in the cylinder (73)
control the movement of the pistons (P1, P2) so that the beach lock assembly
can be partially-expanded, fully-expanded, and retracted, unexpanded position.
